Bibliometric analysis reveals gaps in themes and collaboration in Japanese medical education research.

This analysis aims to characterize medical education research in Japanese obstetrics and gynecology and identify thematic and collaborative gaps.
Conducted a bibliometric review of English-language articles indexed in PubMed from January 2014 to December 2024.
Included peer-reviewed original articles, reviews, and letters led by obstetrics and gynecology professionals in Japan.
Screened 61 records and extracted publication trends, themes, target populations, and international co-authorship characteristics.
28 articles met inclusion criteria, including 21 original articles and 7 others (review and letters).
Publication numbers grew over time but showed no statistically significant trend (0.38 articles per year; p = 0.065).
Main themes were surgical skills training (32.1%) and simulation-based education (21.4%).
Senior residents were the most frequently studied group (82.1%), with no articles noting international co-authorship.

Kamijo et al. (2026) studied this question.
